Do You Get Buyer's Remorse?

Do You Get Buyer's Remorse?

Ulta, Sephora, and the department and drugstore aisles are all playgrounds for the cosmetics-obsessed. But once you've made your purchases, do you get that familiar feeling of guilt in the pit of your stomach?

There's no denying that shopping is an emotional experience. In fact, a recent article in the Wall Street Journal points out that shopping creates a sense of euphoria. Then, the bad part happens. Once the credit card is swiped through the machine, feelings of guilt can start to accumulate. Now that the holidays are upon us, I'm sure people will be hitting up shops with greater frequency. Do you think you'll experience buyer's remorse, or do you have a good grip on preventing overspending on beauty items at the stores?

I I'm surprised at the number of positive answers!
I don't buy a lot of things and almost never expensive ones, so I never feel guilty. Quite the contrary, I'm usually sorry I didn't stock up on things I love after they stop being sold.

i cant afford to have buyer's remorse haha! i buy what i need, and check my guilt before the transaction. this sounds very much like an addiction, usually you know something is an addiction when it makes you feel guilty directly afterwards

I do, pretty often actually. I'm a bit neurotic when it comes to money, I'm always worrying where it's going and how much we're saving and blah, blah, blah...So when I shop I ask myself do I need this? Can I live without it? Is it on sale? I'm into buying sale items, I rarely buy things full price. I'm cheap and it causes difficulty with shopping. ha.

i rarely do but i did the other day pretty bad because i found something i liked better afterwards and thought i made a bad choice...after worrying for 2 days i ended up returning what i'd bought and bought the other stuff

nope, after I shop and before I pay I go through everything I am about to buy and I ask myself "DO I really need/want this?". Usually I will put back everything I am ify about and only buy what I really want/need.

All the time. When I'm in the fitting room I try to convince myself to get that pair of jeans or jacket. Then when I get home I realize it doesn't fit properly. I can't even return it sometimes. Lol I need to work on that.

Sometimes I have remorse and sometimes I don't. It depends on a couple of things: how does my bank account look, do I really need what I'm buying, is this something I can use daily or just for special occasions?
